You’re right, people like WEEI were listening to Bruce – first they made fun of him and everyone who read him, then they condemned him and everyone who read him, and even went so far to completely dismiss the entire Internet and everyone who participated in it, even as they shamlessly cribbed from it (and BSMW) while putting together their show content.

Now, predictably, they act like they invented it. Ron Borges? How effing hackey is that?

But I too congratulate Chad for his success and comend the Globe/boston.com for again recognizing true talent as they did with Mike Reiss…..though turning to a tired dinosaur like Masserotti to be the ‘face’ of their web presence is as hackey as EEI’s Borges hire.

Finn’s TATB blog is a must-read, especially during baseball season, but year-round as well.

Glad to see his role expanding.

Chad, congrats on a long overdue promotion. I hope you bring back the weekly baseball column that you wrote for FOX Sports and continue the good work on TATB.
On the one hand it is good to see, ‘EEi and Globe shoring up their staff with some good additions and promotions (this is assuming Borges was hired to cover Boxing and MMA). On the other hand, this sadly brings us closer to one major sports radio and one major newspaper territory. It will be interesting to see how the Herald responds to the recent departures.
Bruce, you may not want to take any credit but, you have informed many readers like myself by playing the Ombudsman role for the Boston Sports Media. The recent changes at WEEI and Globe show that people in higher places are finally beginning to notice what you have been saying for the last few years. Keep up the good work.
Long Live BSMW.

it’s nice to see the good guys finally get recognized for a change. with CF and MReiss the globe clearly has the premier internet savvy “reporters” in the boston market

I hope this doesn’t mean Steve Silva will be less of a presence on Boston.com! He’s the greatest photojournalist since Matthew Brady.

Congratulations to Chad.
